I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at 3M (Ann Arbor, MI) in Sep 2014
Interview
I spoke with a recruiter at the U of M fall career fair. Was contacted for on campus interview that night and interviewed the next day. The interview was 30mins and did not have a technical component. Got job offer 2 months later but did not find out my specific department for another month.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at 3M (Evanston, IL) in Oct 2017
Interview
Completed and interview on campus. Mostly behavioral questions and going over resume. There were no interviews after this. It took them longer to respond than they said it would, but it was only by a week or two. The interviewer was friendly and made it seem very casual.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at 3M (Austin, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
I spoke to 3M at my school's career fair and was contacted close to two months later for an interview. I don't believe that is the standard time frame, I got the impression that they were somewhat disorganized this year. The man interviewing me was nice and somewhat casual compared to other interviews I have had; he stated in the email to dress business casual and that it was not necessary to wear a suit.

Question 1
All questions were standard behavioral questions; nothing surprising or excessively difficult.
Where do you see yourself in the future (as in, do you plan on going to grad school)?
